It's victory number four for Gujarat Titans as they beat Lucknow Super Giants by 7 runs at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow on Saturday. After winning the toss, the Titans decided to bat first and gave Lucknow an easy target of 136 runs to chase, which the latter failed to pull off.
Hardik Pandya and Wriddhiman Saha were the stars for Gujarat as none of the other batters managed to score more than 10 runs individually. While Saha fell short by 3 runs for his half-century, Pandya scored 66 runs off 50 balls to help the team score 135/6.
During the chase, KL Rahul scored a brilliant half-century for Lucknow, keeping their hopes alive but fell in the final over to Mohit Sharma who had another solid outing.
Mohit bowled a dream last over. He had 11 runs to defend with KL Rahul and Ayush Badoni at the crease, but he gave away only 4, grabbing 2 wickets while 2 more players got run out. With this, Gujarat Titans picked up two points and now join RR, LSG and CSK with 8 points in the IPL standings.
